What is the best time and method to grow peanuts?
It is suitable for cultivation in spring and autumn, and suitable for cultivation in spring and summer. In particular, April to May is the best time to grow peanuts.
Here's a detailed explanation of how to choose the right time and how to grow peanuts
1.The timing of the chosen.
North: The north is suitable for planting in the spring after frost due to the cold temperature. It is usually planted from mid-April to early May. During this period, the temperature gradually rises, which is beneficial for seed germination and development.
South: Due to the high temperatures in the south, peanuts can be sown in March and April. This stage coincides with the early spring weather in the southern region, and the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to the growth and development of peanuts.
2.Land preparation:
Soil selection: Peanuts need loose, fertile, well-drained land. The pH required for its growth ranges from 60~7.0。In order to prevent the occurrence of crop diseases, prevent the cultivation of a variety of crops, and prevent the growth of a variety of crops.
Land improvement: Adequate land consolidation should be done before sowing. Soil fertility and water retention can be increased through ploughing, soil loosening, fertilization and other methods.
3.Planting Method:
Seed selection: Choose high-quality peanut seeds and pay attention to their cleanliness and hygiene. You can also use the method of soaking seeds, soak the seeds in hot water for 12 hours, dry and set aside.
Sowing method: Peanut sowing can be divided into two types: on-site sowing and burying. For live streaming, sprinkle the seeds on the ground and squash them with your hands. When burying seeds, first dig a deep pit in the ground, fill the seeds with a thickness of 2 3 cm, and then press them gently by hand.
Line spacing and line spacing: Line spacing and line spacing should be appropriately set according to specific types and regional requirements. In general, the line spacing is about 60 80 cm, and the line spacing is 20 30 cm.
4.Administrative means:
Moisture: Peanuts like moisture, but they don't like moisture, so they need the right amount of water. In the early stage, it is necessary to pay attention to maintaining soil moisture, and gradually reduce the number of watering times as seeds germinate and develop to prevent excessive water.
Fertilizer: Peanuts have a high demand for nutrients such as N, P, K. This fertilizer can be applied before sowing or during the growth of the crop. In the use of fertilizer, we should pay attention to the proportion and dosage to prevent seedling lodging or nutrient deficiency caused by excessive fertilization.
Pest control: Peanuts are susceptible to diseases, such as: peanut anthracnose, peanut black spot, aphids, etc. Frequent inspections should be carried out, and appropriate prevention and control methods should be taken immediately once pests occur, such as spraying pesticides and applying biological insecticides.
In short, in the production of peanuts, the cultivation should be carried out in a timely manner, the land should be fully prepared, the sowing should be carried out in a timely manner, and the crops should be scientifically managed, so that the yield and quality of peanuts can be further improved. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the weather and crop growth, take pest and disease prevention measures in a timely manner, and water and fertilize in a timely manner to ensure the healthy growth of peanuts and achieve a bumper yield.
